One Special Night (1999 TV Movie)
7/10
A nice and sweet made for television movie.
9 December 1999
"Robert," James Gardner (Victor, Victoria) and his daughters went to visit his wife in the hospital. There was a snow storm coming and Robert decided to stay at the hospital longer. Later he tried to get a cab but he could not get one. "Millie" Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music), a doctor, overheard his phone conversation. She was driving home in her convertible Jaguar and offered Robert a ride. Not exactly your snow transportation! Her car crashed in the snow. They ended up spending the night in a vacated cabin in the mountains without a telephone. Robert had to break a window to get in. There they started a love-hate relationship. They argued a lot. His daughter and son-in-law were having marriage problems. They went arguing and looking for Robert. They were not able to find him. Millie and Robert decided that they should meet for breakfast. When it was time for breakfast, Millie was inside the restaurant. Robert got to the front of the restaurant but he received a phone call and did not go in the restaurant. The scene reminded me of "An Affair to Remember" and "You've Got Mail" where she waits but he does not come. The next time they meet neither one wants to admit that they were there. It turns out that the phone call that Robert received was that this wife who had Alzheimer's had died. His children meet Millie and thought that she was neat. Millie's husband had died of cancer and she had no children. Robert and Millie fell in love. He purchased the cabin that made that night so special. This was a nice and sweet made for television movie. Favorite Scene: he gives her the scarf she lost in the snow.
